Holiday Weekend Overseas Derby

Jack Sparrow, he's still the top sea dog.

... [T]he weekend’s No. 1 box office crown went once again to Disney’s Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides.

The fourth sequel ... captured $122.8 million – a 48% drop from the film’s record-setting opening surge ($260.4 million) last round. Total foreign box office so far comes to $470.8 million, more than three times its domestic gross ($152.9 million). ...

Meantime, the serial imbibers and KFP2 opened well.

... The Hangover Part II ... opened at 5,170 screens in 40 territories for $59 million ...

... Kung Fu Panda 2 in 3D opened in just 11 markets (29% of the international marketplace and about a tenth of the number of territories played on the weekend by Pirates), and drew $57 million from 8,023 locations. It ranks No. 3 on the weekend. ...

As in the U.S. of A., Panda ran behind Hangover, but I don't know where they were competing head to head, or how the 5,000 screens of the live-action picture compares to the 8,000 screens of the animated flick..

People will always like movies. But the sequel bubble has to burst at some point.
